LATEST CHANGES
------------------
5/16/14:
*Fixed Replication issues and now each client should have their own UBS.ini to configure their buddy from the server. It works now.
* Fixed various bugs with RateWeapon() FireWeapon() and SwitchtoBestWeapon2() SwitchToFavoriteWeapon() functions for better AI support.
* Buddies can now handle properly waiting for Elevator Lifts.
* Fixed buddies can now properly handle checking for enemies in the Roaming state.
* No more teleporting while Master or Buddy is on a Mover.
* Fixed Hunting state. Buddies will now Hunt after their Master's enemies.
* Fixed sooooo many scriptwarnings. Some minor ones remain (mostly enemy checks), but they are very minimal.
+ Added bRespawnBuddies which makes buddies respawn for their Masters when they die.
+ Added bRandomBuddies which will pick a random model and skin for new buddies that spawn.
+ Made buddies bCollidePlayers false
+ Made buddies bProjTarget false for the Roaming, Waiting and Hunting states. Basically means they will only collide with projectiles while in combat.
! Changed Roaming and Waiting states to talk to each other about when a Buddy is either stuck at a wall or loops random destinations.
------------------
DESCRIPTION
------------------
Unreal Buddy System is a mod which currently allows for one Male companion to fight along side you in any
stock/custom map(s). This mod was inspired by the companion system in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.
Without those games this mod would not exist.
------------------
USAGE
------------------
If you are using a combination of UT and OldSkool Singleplayer, I would suggest the command "summon UBS.UBSMut" at the start of any new campaign.
This command will load the mutator and properly spawn your buddy, but will not replace any existing HUD.
You can also use the command "open <mapname>?mutator=UBS.UBSMut" or select it from the Mutator Mod Menu in Unreal 227 or UT.
This mod works in all versions of Unreal including 227 and Unreal Tournament. Not tested yet though. I built it under Unreal Gold 226b.
Enjoy! Feedback and Suggestions always appreciated. I definitely want to keep improving this mod.
